Paddy & Jen Adventures

  • Perth-Busselton

    We decided to cut short our house sit in Mandurah due to smelly dogs and a very cold house! (Don’t panic we did not leave the dogs alone, the owner got someone else to look after them). We headed back to Perth and spent the next few days having some really lovely family catch ups.…

  • Outback SA

    We had a very bumpy and dusty drive on the Oodnadatta Track. We drove 155km’s along the corrugated roads on the first day and pulled up stumps at the Beresford Railway Siding (the old Ghan railway line runs the length of the Oodnadatta Track). It was such a peaceful space to pull up for the…

    From Clare we travelled to Brinkworth, a small town (population of 243) that offered a powered site for $15. We needed to wash some clothes and wash my hair so this was the purpose of this stay. The night was freezing, getting down to zero. Had a chat to the local volunteer who came to…
